The KFX® 700's power and performance begins with its engine. The liquid-cooled, 697cc, four-stroke, 90-degree V-twin is matched to a performance-tuned Kawasaki Automatic Power Drive System (KAPS), Kawasaki's continuously variable automatic transmission. Combined, the powerful engine and automatic transmission eliminate rpm and shifting concerns because it's in optimum powerband at all times. This allows the rider to focus even more attention on choosing good lines, whether it's on the race track or the trail.

Other features include shaft drive, powerful dual front disc brakes and Kawasaki's exclusive sealed, oil-bathed, multi-disc rear brake system. The KFX® 700 also features the industry's first mass-produced ATV chassis with a racing-inspired single lower front frame tube – the design preferred by cross country ATV racers. Rear suspension duties are handled by a motocross-inspired swingarm with an upside down shock, and ITP Holeshot tires provide the KFX® 700 with maximum traction and maneuverability. Rounding out the features list are sport-style serrated footpegs, a protective engine skid plate and a powerful 45-watt headlight.
